I love them but I'm afraid of them?

Question

I watch ghost shows all the time and they're very fascinating to study but...

I'm terrified of them! As soon as I want to investigate in real life, I'm too scared to do it! Sometimes, if it's night time and I just got done watching a ghost show, I'll leave the lights on and run around with my eyes closed so that I won't see anything that will scare me.

How can I stop being afraid of something I love so much? How can I overcome my fear of ghosts?

Answer 1

it's okay. you'll grow out of it. i used to be like that =p

Answer 2

The only way to overcome a fear is to face it. So start investigating, the more you see them the less you'll fear them.

Answer 3

Most likely, your fear is really of the unknown.  If you are young(which I am thinking you are) as you grow older, you will most likely grow out of this or have a more mature understanding.

If you are too afraid to investigate the paranormal, then wait till you are older & are more serious about it.

Answer 4

its the same way with me and aleins i love to study them and learn all i can about them but usually i end up scared to death at night with the thought that aleins might abduct me or try to

Answer 5

i think for the meantime.. stop watching them as they tend to damage our chakras.. i must admit that ido love watching them and am afraid of them.. but i am trying to stop. have ffaith in god and try to build your strength before watching somemore ghost movies.

Answer 6

Just remember that most ghost aren't even aware of us.  Just like most people aren't aware of ghost.  Don't fall for the Hollywood stereo type of the big scary ghost thing, its bull c**p, something made up to sell movies.  Works good for snuggling up at the movies with your girlfriend/boyfriend too, thats the real reason they are so popular.

Answer 7

I love ghost shows too

you do not have to be afraid

Sometimes when I watch it I am scared when I turn around someone is going to be standing there

Ghost's cannot hurt you they can't hardly even touch you some are nice to

To get rid of your fear search them on the internet look at the pictures and say to yourself

"To the paranormal"

Answer 8

Laugh out loud, I hate to tell you that turning on the lights does not guarentee that the ghosties will go away or that it even has any effect on them at all. They do not care if the lights are on or off.

I think that we fear what we do not understand. I have long ago stopped being afraid of ghosts and spirits as most are just former people, some may be confused, but they are just people none the less. Most spirit have better things to do than haunt you specifically. If you are open to communication though, they do like to stop by and tell you things. Things, btw that have no bearing on you personally however, things that were important to them. So if you want to hear some old lady talk about her daughter, or show you her hair do that is out of date by twenty-five years, then you can hear them talking too.

Once in awhile you will get a spirit that can and will act like a guide and will give you  personal information that pertains to you. These are the best ones... in my opinion. Just relax and know that there is more out there than you can imagine. No one is out there to harm you unless you invite trouble.

Answer 9

What it is it about ghosts that frighten you?

Perhaps going on an investigation with a group that you both trusted and respected would help calm your fears.

Honestly on most ghost investigations nothing to very little usually happens. I have listed a link below that might help you find a group in your area. Perhaps just talking (e-mailing) to them about their experiences will help calm you fears.

Just a simple suggestion but maybe you associate the night as more scary than the day and then you add in ghost. So, you could record some ghost shows and watch them during the day time.

Also, you can try examining (being too curious to be scared). OK the lady said that but why didn't they ask her about _____  I would want to know that.

Answer 10

Don't worry the next time you watch a ghost show let me know and I'll drop by so when you get scared you can crawl under my arm and I'll hold on to you tight but not to tight.

Answer 11

Most ghosts are not evil and mean to do no harm to you, they are earthbound spirits who may have passed over with a bit of a chip on their shoulder/too closely aligned to the emotional level on earth, or they are dreamers.  No physical harm can come to you.

Earthbound spirits/ghosts aren't shackled for an eternity to be earthbound because knowledge comes around eventually and what may seem like hundreds of years in this life may only seem like 12 hrs in the other dimensions.

Answer 12

One day, this fear will save your life.

Answer 13

Take into consideration that at one time they were in human form.

And who knows how we appear to them..........

Do we appear to be as transparent as they do to us?

Do we appear as dark shadows?

Or are we invisible and they can hear us moving around?

I think of it as a worm hole in time.

That you would have the ability to communicate with those from a different time period.

And instead of using a cell phone to communicate, you're using taps and knocks on objects.

Answer 14

There are some ghosts you SHOULD be afraid of....even some of the ones who seem nice. But I hear that you shouldn't show fear. DUH?? Even Jesus had to say "Don't be afraid"..even the angel who appeared to Mary said "Fear not!"  So fear of spirits/ghosts has been around a long time. So you're normal. Things happened to me that I wish I had been afraid of...but it was so exciting & fascinating that I wasn't. I didn't realize what was really going on. I'm going to be babysitting next month in a house they say might be haunted. I'm excited..but afraid.Maybe if they hadn't told me..and something happened I wouldn't be afraid because I wouldn't realize what it was.They think it's a good ghost who protects..STILL!!!

  When things happened to me..there weren't ghost shows on tv like now. ..only church ...so I thought spirits were natural and good. It's just whatever you think . But then why are dogs afraid when they see one?

I'm not sure you're ready for ghost hunting. Fear can cause panic attacks...like I have now...and PTSD. You don't need to subject yourself to that.

I don't know if you really "love" ghosts..I think you're just fascinated by them. You need to go to Resolved Questions on here and read all that you can and learn all that you can about them.And please don't go by yourself if you go hunting ghosts. Go with someone who knows about them. Good Luck!

Answer 15

have you ever seen one NO. so why would suddenly see one now. There is no proof of them is there, NO. if they were real they wouldn't be kept secret.

Answer 16

You sound very young - ghosts are always exciting when we're young.  But there's no need to be scared of them, because they don't exist in reality.

They're just fables made up by adults for the amusement of children, much like the Easter bunny.
